THE POWER OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING
Creativity + Depth of Thought =
Authentic Voice
April 10, 2023 10
Narrative imagining – story – is the fundamental instrument of thought … rational capacities depend on it. It is our chief
means of looking into the future, of predicting, of planning, and of
explaining … most of our experience, our knowledge and
our thinking is organized as stories.
-Mark Turner, The Literary Mind
(quoted in A Whole New Mind, by Daniel Pink)

When data is ubiquitously accessible, facts
are increasingly less important than the
ability to place these facts in context and
to deliver them with emotional impact.
-Daniel Pink, A Whole New Mind
